A big thank you to the amazing Product Hunt community for the love and support on our Ops AI launch!

We landed in the 4th Products of the Day - out of 350+ launches and couldn t be more grateful.

Received support from over 600 people through likes, comments, and encouragement.

Ops AI is our full-stack AI observability copilot, designed to help developers detect, diagnose, and resolve production issues instantly. Built on Middleware s robust platform, Ops AI provides deep, real-time insights across your entire stack, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for AI-powered applications.

Right now, using AI still takes effort. You type something in, it gives you something weird, so you tweak the prompt, try again, change the phrasing, and hope for the best.

But with every LLM update, it feels like they re finally starting to understand stuff like need title for slide and description. And honestly? Sometimes the answers I get clarify the task or problem I was trying to solve in the first place.

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?
